Went out with my primary school friend today. It's been such a long, long time since we saw each other.
Met up at Orchard MRT and had lunch together. It's a good thing we went out today because my holidays are coming to an end. Her promos are just over though. We exchanged news about our JC and Poly and talked about life in general.
After that, we went to Borders at Wheelock Place. It's great to be among so many books. Took time browsing and finally bought one novel, Highland Knight by Cindy Miles. I can't seem to find the other books that I want though. Thought Borders should be well-stocked with books... Maybe my expectations are just too high? Oh well, think I'll visit it again during Christmas season.
Then, we went to Far East Plaza and window-shopped. It's really tiring to just walk around. My feet were killing me and my shoulders ached from whatever stress I put on them.
We parted our ways as she was meeting another friend.
It's fun today, just meeting up with an old friend. Hoping to meet up again soon, during the December holidays.

Rumoured NM movie with my thoughts
Thought I'd give my opinion, about the rumoured New Moon movie.
Here: http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/new_moon_twilightsequel/
Summit Entertainment should definitely filmed New Moon as a movie seeing as Twilight is going to be a big success. Without saying, Eclipse should definitely be included. It's my favourite book in the saga and it will be great to watch with all those emotions floating around, intimacy to a new level and not forgetting the battle at the end where enemies became allies. I'm not too sure about Breaking Dawn though. There are just too many things that will not do justice to the book. Read it and you will know what they are. If Breaking Dawn is made into a movie, there may be scenes that people will not quite accept especially those who are new or not fans of Twilight saga.
Back to the point about New Moon, it's a "hard" book to read, too much emotions. Separation does not do Bella or Edward any good. Majority of the book is about the relationship of Bella and Jacob with Edward returning near the end. New Moon is my least favourite with the exception of Bella and Edward's reunion. Every time I read the book, I will only read that part. But, there's much potential for New Moon being showed as a movie. For instance, we can see what separation does to Bella and Edward whereas in the book, we only saw Bella's point of view. The Volturi scene in Italy will be "fun" (in a weird sort of way) to watch.
However, Summit should be filming them soon or back-to-back because that's when they will be riding high on the waves of success. Also, the actors/actresses are going to get older every year. Not a good idea to wait for too long as vampires aren't supposed to age at all.
Besides, which fan wants to wait for ages to watch a sequel? Like Harry Potter HBP, Warner Bros' not wise to put off the movie to 2009 summer when it's suppose to debut on November 21st 2008.
As a Twilight fan, I, of course, have high expectations for the movie as well. I, like most fans, are protective of the world created by Stephenie Meyer and would not like to see it being made into a laughing stock or scoff at by other people. I know that movie is entirely different to a book but I can't help feeling that way. Typical people will group the saga together with the movie. If the movie is not successful, people who are new will not and may not read the books.
I don't know if I wrote it in here before, but I chanced upon Twilight in a special way. I was randomly picking books in the library back in 2006 and found it accidentally. I was attracted to the book's glossy black cover and after reading the tiny excerpt, borrowed it. From then on, I was and still am a fan of Twilight saga. During that time, Stephenie Meyer and Twilight was still relatively unknown, at least in Singapore. It's a good and bad thing about her being now a worldwide best selling author. Bad in a way that it's too publicise and that special connection with the books is lost somewhat.
To conclude, indeed, even if Twilight the movie and the movies to come are not that successful in terms of filming, I'll still watch them loyally like what I did with Harry Potter. That's right, I fall in the "typical people" category. Not proud of that fact though.
